AJX-TEL | 90+3′ Done in Amsterdam
Ajax beat Telstar 2-0 at home and qualified for the eighth finals of the KNVB Cup. It was certainly not grand, rather very austere, but Ajax did what was expected of them against the number eleven of the first division: win.
AJX-TEL | 81′ Ajax’s best goal does not count
You had to wait eighty minutes for it, but finally we see a nice attack. Substitute Taylor passes the ball to substitute Weghorst, who, face to face with the goalkeeper, carelessly places the ball wide for the always alert substitute Klaassen. Great attack, but not 2-0, because Weghorst was offside.
AJX-TEL | 73′ Almost Rugani (and Weghorst) again
Playing football from the back, it is not very special what Ajax shows. Pasveer regularly chooses the long ball at Weghorst. That’s possible once in a while, of course, but it’s not big. In any case, the game is a bit sloppy.
Opportunities do come now, but from dead play moments: Rugani almost heads in his second. And just now Weghorst almost hits the target. But both balls fly just over.
It’s a sober game in Amsterdam.
And then the goal for Ajax: 1-0, Rugani heads it in! Does he realize that he is succeeding? Well, the Italian extends Van den Boomen’s corner to the far corner and not a single Telstar leg touches it.
AJX-TEL | 54′ First chance Weghorst
Brobbey couldn’t manage it, but it also turned out to be difficult for Weghorst. The first chance the striker gets with his left, he shoots wildly wide.
AJX-TEL | 46′ Let’s go to Amsterdam again!
The second half has started in Amsterdam. With a double substitution on Ajax’s side.
Berghuis and Brobbey remain behind in the dressing room. Van den Boomen and Weghorst enter.
Duels from 8 p.m. are ready
The three matches that started at 8 p.m. have ended. De Graafschap makes no mistake, Barendrecht rolls up Eemdijk and Rijnsburgse Boys stunt against Volendam
De Graafschap – Sparta Nijkerk: 4-0
Eemdijk – Barendrecht: 1-6
Rijnsburgse Boys – FC Volendam: 2-0
AJX-TEL | 45+3′ Rust in Amsterdam
Whistling in the Arena. And that is not unjustified. It is 0-0 at halftime against first division team Telstar.
Has Ajax shown anything? An opportunity for Brobbey, that was the biggest. A weak shot from Henderson. A few mediocre crosses after quick attacks from Traoré. That’s it.
ROW-FULL | 82′ Goal Rijnsburgse Boys
While it is quite boring in the Arena, you can see a spectacle in Rijnsburg. There the local Boys come 2-0 against FC Volendam. And that is completely justified. The visiting pros are simply inferior.
And the goal? That was beautiful. Nino Klaver pings past two Volendam players on the left flank and curls it into the far top corner. A picture.
Rijnsburgse Boys – FC Volendam: 2-0
GRA-SPN | 79′ Goal Graafschap
De Graafschap does what is expected of them: round up the amateurs from Nijkerk. The fourth comes from the foot of the Iraqi Blnd Hassan.
De Graafschap-Sparta Nijkerk: 4-0
AJX-TEL | 36′ Ajax searches and searches and searches
It’s not a match you’ll remember in five years. Ajax continues to look for an opening. Brobbey is often sought after and Traoré and Godts always dive into the depths around it.
But is it really dangerous? No. The visitors from IJmuiden hold their ground quite easily. Telstar doesn’t contribute anything offensively yet.
AJX-TEL | 24′ First big chance for Ajax
There is the first real chance for Ajax. Brobbey puts his butt in, turns away from his direct man with his back to the goal and shoots wide. But it was well shot.
Ajax increases the pressure against Telstar. See how visitors deal with this.
ROW-FULL | 60′ Goal Rijnsburgse Boys
Finally, Rijnsburgse Boys will think: 1-0! The amateurs were much more dangerous than the professionals from Volendam, had many more chances, but they did not score yet.
After an hour of playing it works. Bram Ros scores the ball. Will this be the second amateur stunt of the evening?
Rijnsburgse Boys – FC Volendam: 1-0
GRA-SPN | 59′ Goal Graafschap
And the Superboeren are 3-0. It is Jesse van der Haar’s third goal.
De Graafschap-Sparta Nijkerk: 3-0
AJX-TEL | 16′ Tam start in Amsterdam
Has anything happened yet in the Johan Cruijff Arena? Well, not really. The Amsterdam team has much more of the ball, they are looking for a hole in the defense of the team from IJmuiden. The ball tempo will have to be a lot higher if they want to make it difficult for Telstar. Everything is a bit quiet.
EEM-BAR | 50′ Goal Barendrecht
The match in Bunschoten has been decided: Barendrecht scores the fourth. It is De Bruin who makes it again, his third, he curls it beautifully over the keeper into the intersection. Hat trick!
AJX-TEL | 1′ Kick-off in Amsterdam!
We started in the Johan Cruijff Arena. It’s quite full, but not sold out. There was already excitement in the stadium because a youth player was holding it up for entertainment. He managed it 2424 times, with a small ball. Try that in the living room.
While the acclaimed talent was performing magic, Telstar trainer Anthony Correia was in good spirits in an interview with colleagues from ESPN.
It is dead quiet in IJmuiden, all residents are in the stadium in Amsterdam, Correia joked. And Telstar has trained for penalties, yes. “But we hope to finish it before extra time,” Correia continued.
Who knows, there might be a stunt in it, Telstar is doing well, with an eleventh place in the first division.
NOO-WIL | 73′ Can Wendt still lift Noordwijk?
No, Noordwijk is having a hard time. The strength slowly drains away, people limp and it is more like chasing the ball than running for rest. Up front, striker Emiel Wendt, maker of the 1-0 and standout for the home team, does what he can. Extend balls, hold balls. But his socks are also starting to swell.
A second goal from the 30-year-old captain would decide the match and increase Wendt’s hero status. The tall striker will stop playing football at the end of this season to – as he said on the club website – spend more time with his wife Bonny and their young twins. Moreover, he is also in demand at his work at a dredging and hydraulic engineering company.
For the time being, he can only watch from the attack as his team tries to keep things close at the back.
vv Noordwijk – Willem II: 2-1
NOO-WIL | 71′ Willem II hits post
Phew, the situation for the Noordwijk goal is becoming dire. The people of Tilburg put enormous pressure and opportunities arise. Just a free kick on the post, it really didn’t matter.
Noordwijk shows nothing anymore. We’re guessing this won’t stay 2-1.
vv Noordwijk – Willem II: 2-1
NOO-WIL | 56′ Goal Noordwijk!
Oh, oh, oh, a big mistake by Willem II goalkeeper Van den Berg and it’s 2-0. The man with the most beautiful name on the field, Arantis Roep, curls it into the short corner. Trainer Maes is near despair, now he lets himself get completely wet in the Noordwijk downpour.
How are the people of Tilburg going to turn this around?
vv Noordwijk – Willem II: 2-0
NOO-WIL | 24′ Almost Wendt again
This is not going to be a pleasant evening for Willem II. It has stopped raining softly, it is now raining heavily, and the wind is also increasing. Wendt just got a huge chance to make it 2-0, but the 30-year-old striker mowed over the ball. Admittedly, it wasn’t easy, off the turn and with the bounce.
Are the people of Tilburg still dangerous? Meh, a free kick from Bosch almost hurtles into the dunes. Get it yourself!
vv Noordwijk – Willem II: 1-0
NOO-WIL | 18′ First danger Willem II
We note the visitors’ first shot on target. Razak looked for the far corner, but goalkeeper Antonioli tapped it out.
Willem II shows himself a little more, but Noordwijk is still participating excellently. The home team is more dangerous than the visitors.
vv Noordwijk – Willem II: 1-0
NOO-WIL | 11′ Willem II is having a hard time
You wouldn’t say that a second division player is playing against a premier league team here. Noordwijk is not afraid to play football and does so well every now and then.
And yes, Willem II does not play with the best eleven. Trainer Peter Maes felt that he had to give a few of his Tilburg stars a rest, so that the bench sitters could show themselves. But that doesn’t work out so well.
vv Noordwijk – Willem II: 1-0
The Dutch football year 2024 is almost ready. Another round of matches in the Premier League next weekend and cup football in Noordwijk, Doetinchem, Bunschoten, Rijnsburg and Amsterdam this evening.
Five competitions, in which amateurs try to perform stunts against the pros.
